Chapter 69
Eve and the girls guffawed as the alcohol splashed on my face, ruininh my makeup and hair.
I fought back tears as the girls began pulling at my hair and tugging at my dress again.
“Just let me go!! I cried and attempted to run away, but the girls closed in on me. The music was changed to a loud one as a few people decided to dance, drowning my voice.
“Remember what you are, you breeder. That day, when I saw you in the mansion, I should have known you were eyeing Eros. You should know this, that he is mine MINE
Eve jabbed a finger at my dress and then wiped her hand on a nearby shrub.
“Ew don’t touch her”
The girls began bullying me and I was about to yell back at them when suddenly everybody turned around. “Hey, what is happening?” A voice asked, and I saw Arthur coming over.
The girls quickly pulled out their hankerchiefs and scarves and began wiping my dress while a few threw the contents of their drinks at each other.
Eve immediately masked on a sweet smile “Oh, I am so sorry, my foot got caught in something and I stumbled”
I gritted my teeth, while she reached for my hand and grabbed it, squeezing it hard.
*Please, I am so sorry. I did not mean to. Please don’t complain to the King about me,” She began crying, and her friends surrounded her, trying to calm her down.
Arthur had already approached us after placing the drinks on a nearby table.
Is everything alright?” He asked as he looked at Tre..
But before I could answer, Eve threw him a helpless look. “I was just playing around with my friends and we didn’t see her. One of us started throwing water around and we joined in too. She got caught in the whole thing.”
Arthur looked at the girls, some of whom were also wet and were wiping off the alcohol.
Eve walked near him and batted her eyelashes. “I hope you understand it was a mistake.”
Arthur then hesistatinhly nodded, “It is alright. Just go and get yourselves cleaned, girls.”
I wanted to protest, but Eve and her friends then dragged me to the washroom. Once we were all alone, Eve kicked me in the stomach and muttered, “You were going to spoil my plans, right? You filthy breeder.
She grabbed me by the collar and gritted her teeth, “You are never going to say a word of this to Eros, or am going to ensure that you are thrown out of the mansion”
Stacie reached for Eve and tried to calm her.
Let us go, Eve. Stop wasting your time on this mutt.” only then did Eve took a deep breath to calm her nerves and replied. “Yeah, you are right. I’ll just go upstairs and drag Eros outside if have to. Maybe I’ll have the first dance with him.”
Her friends giggled excitedly, and they all did some touch up and adjusted their clothes and hair before walking out of the washroom.
“You stay within your limits,” Eve growled as she walked out.

Chapter 69
ax 90%
I turned the tap off and Het the tears flow freely down my eyes. This had always been the case with Lyra and her friends. didn’t even think that I was going to experience this bullying again. It felt like deja vu all over again.
I wiped my tears off and washed my face with the cool water as I finally stopped sobbing. This whole ball was now of no importance to me.
I should stay away from Eros, and focus rather on finding answers to the happenings in my life.
Then, I calmed down and stepped outside after cleaning my dress to the best of my ability. But when I stepped out. Arthur was already waiting for me.
“Hey, are you okay?” He asked, and 1 force a smile at him.
“Yes” I lied.
He came forward and replied, “I saw the girls walking out but you didn’t, and so I wanted to check if you
My heart warmed at this affection. At least somebody cared about me.
were
alright.”
Some people were gathered around the entrance and it was hard to make out what was going on just by looking from here. Arthur sprang up on his feet and muttered, “Let me see what is going on. I will be right back. Don’t go anywhere.”
While everybody was wearing a formal black colored business suit, Eros was dressed in a blue three piece suit.
Every single person had left whatever they were doing and went to greet him, and he was handling the crowd very well. He did not smile, neither did he scowl.
Even I smiled at that. He was oblivious to my presence, so I let myself gawk at him.
He was still well–built, with broad shoulders and his charisma was enigmatic.
